Symphony Hall — a perfect harmony between event and venue

Since the doors to Symphony Hall first opened in 1972, millions of people have crossed its welcoming threshold into a cultural and performance icon integral to the arts landscape of the Phoenix area. The multi-purpose Symphony Hall, home to The Phoenix Symphony, Arizona Opera and Ballet Arizona, is also the site for Broadway touring companies, a variety of dance productions, and appearances by popular entertainers, as well as for business seminars and convention general sessions. A new era for this popular venue emerged with the 2005 completion of an extensive, $18.5 million renovation and lobby expansion.

Technology for a grand entertainment experience

The hall is equipped with a 60-by-100-foot stage area; high-technology systems for acoustics, lighting, rigging and sound; a Green Room; a rehearsal hall; and star, chorus and musician dressing rooms.

Easy access to an inviting setting

Symphony Hall’s spacious 7,550-square-foot lobby has several entrances, as well as elevators on each side, for easy auditorium access. Light wood panels of ash, red oak, European ash and European steamed birch are featured throughout the venue, along with carpeting custom designed for Symphony Hall.
